₿ Cryptocurrency Payments: The 2025 Reality Check for Construction

Wednesday 29th October 2025

In 2023, our announcement that Robbins Construction Ltd was accepting crypto payments was seen as forward-thinking. It was an experiment born from a surge of interest in digital assets and a desire to simplify payments for a global clientele.

Where We Are Now: Two years later, the enthusiasm has been tempered by market stability concerns and, crucially, regulatory clarity. While we successfully completed several projects using cryptocurrency as partial payment, we have since refined our policy:

Active Status: Robbins Construction Ltd is still open to crypto as a partial payment method, primarily utilizing stablecoins to mitigate market volatility.

Compliance is King: The biggest shift in 2025 is the pressure on financial compliance. We now require strict, third-party Source of Funds (SOF) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification for all crypto transactions, reflecting the increased scrutiny from banks and conveyancers.

The Verdict: While crypto remains a fascinating technology, it has not replaced the traditional cash-flow models in residential construction. We continue to see sterling bank transfers as the preferred and most streamlined option, but the door remains open for fully compliant digital transactions.
